SwaSwara Introduces a Pioneering Menopause Reset Program - A Transformative Experience for Women
Perimenopause and menopause mark significant natural transitions in a woman’s life.

SwaSwara, Gokarna - Meditation . SwaSwara, Gokarna - Treatment Doctor Dr. Amruthavarshini says, “ Addressing menopause is crucial as it marks a significant biological and social transition with long lasting health implications like osteoporosis, increased risks of heart diseases and emotional challenges. Many women do not address it due to lack of awareness and social stigma, thus missing out on support of treatments that can improve their quality of life . Our Menopause Reset embraces the full journey from perimenopause through menopause offering the care and attention that integrates mind, body and spirit. This pioneering reset program goes beyond conventional care by weaving in ancient elemental wisdom and holistic naturopathic practices Our goal is to help women go through this natural transition with resilience, grace and strength ."

In 2018, the group expanded further with Prakriti Shakti, a centre dedicated to naturopathy—an evidence-based system of holistic healing that evolved as a structured medical system in Europe; however, its philosophy and practices are deeply rooted in Indian culture and way of life.

New airport will come up in South Bengaluru, says DCM Shivakumar
BENGALURU: Amid heightened efforts to improve Bengalurus infrastructure and draw investments from across the globe, Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday urged people not to criticise the government, but to be patient and cooperate in development. Speaking on the sidelines of the inauguration of the 28th edition of the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025, he said, We know your problem and we are working on it. Rs 1.5 lakh crore is being invested to improve the citys infrastructure with double-decker flyovers, twin tunnel roads and other projects, covering 132 km. Have confidence in us. A world-class city is being created in Bidadi and the second international airport will come up in South Bengaluru. All this will decongest the city, he said. Citing the example of Mumbai, Shivakumar said the central and Maharashtra governments are working together to improve infrastructure in Mumbai, including the construction of tunnel roads. It should be done in Karnataka too. People from across the globe are investing in Karnataka. They see Karnataka as the future tech capital of the world. They have confidence in people of Karnataka. Bengalurus infrastructure is improving and the population too is increasing. We all should build and support Bengalurus growth and not criticise it, he said. The state government is working on creating a separate NRI investment cell, while a special policy is being created to strengthen education of rural children. He used the platform to seek corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds to improve rural education. There is a need for companies to move to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, he added.
Karnataka must pole-vault to produce-led growth: Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan
BENGALURU: Infosys co-founder and Axilor Chairman Kris Gopalakrishnan called upon all industries and entrepreneurs to move from being implementers of others ideas and become inventors. During a session -- India Futurises: From Leap-frogging to Pole-vaulting -- at the Bengaluru Tech Summit on Tuesday, he said, There are new spaces in quantum AI, where nobody is a leader yet and thats the space where we can move. Karnataka has the largest talent base in the country when it comes to technology. He said the state has to now reimagine its role from a service-led growth to a produce-led growth, and added that it is necessary for Karnataka to pole-vault. How much are industries investing in R&D? Gopalakrishnan said, asking industries to evaluate this. Industries must make sure that they are investing more than the global average. How much of the R&D is within the company versus outside the company? I think 50% of the R&D must be invested outside the company, so that forces us to look at startups and academic institutions, etc. He called upon industries to look at what percentage of current revenue comes from products and technology introduced in the last three to five years, and mentioned that it will tell how fast the industries are renewing their product portfolio. Stressing the need for industries to play an active role in ensuring their innovation ecosystem is strong, Gopalakrishnan said innovation need not always be done by startups, large industries should also innovate. IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge said, If we want to pole-vault, we need to create local economic engines for innovation and invention. We need to build a solid base of skills, top it up with accelerators, top that up with centres of excellence, top that up with budget and top that up with policy. We will be able to get the right talent to invent and innovate, not just for Karnataka but for the world, he said, adding that in a year or two, everyone will see great results from the state governments Beyond Bengaluru initiative.
Three dead after charcoal stove fumes fill closed room in Karnataka
BELAGAVI: Three people died and another is in critical condition after sleeping in a closed room with a lit charcoal stove meant to keep them warm during the severe cold spell gripping the city. The tragedy, which occurred late Monday night in Aman Nagar, came to light only on Tuesday evening when family members went to check on them. Police suspect that smoke accumulation and oxygen depletion inside the tightly shut room led to suffocation, though the exact cause of death will be known after post-mortem examination. According to the police, the youths had returned home after attending a private family function on Monday night. To beat the cold, they lit a charcoal pot inside the room before going to sleep. With no ventilation, the smoke is believed to have slowly filled the space, rendering the occupants unconscious. The room, located at the far end of the house, reportedly had no windows or air circulation, making escape impossible once fumes built up. The deceased have been identified as Rehan Matte (22) of Vadgaon, and Mohin Nalaband (23) and Sarfaraz Harappanahalli (22), both from Aman Nagar. Shahanawaz Harpanhalli (19), also from Aman Nagar, survived but is in critical condition and undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
Chain-link mesh put up to curb man-animal conflict in Karnataka's Nagarhole
MYSURU: In a bid to address rising human-wildlife conflict, forest officials have begun installing a chain-link mesh barrier along a 13-km stretch in the Nagarahole Tiger reserve area of Mysurus HD Kote taluk. The barrier is currently being constructed as a trial, and if the experiment proves successful, its height will be raised by an additional 10 feet, according to forest officials. The initiative comes amid growing concern over wildlife particularly large mammals straying beyond forest boundaries and threatening nearby human settlements. While the project is in its early stages, authorities are hopeful that the mesh fence will act as a strong physical deterrent, preventing animals from coming into contact with people and livestock. RFO Siddaraju told TNIE that this is part of a broader conflict management strategy, and the pilot phase will guide future decisions on scaling the barrier. HD Kote MLA Anil Chikkamadu, who took part in the chain-link mesh installation ceremony, said lets hope that the move helps in addressing the man-animal conflict.
